The Armeria Dreameria® Vivid Dreams is a small plant, but its showy appearance makes a big statement. The Armeria pseudarmeria features dense globes of flowers that stand on top of thin stems. Enjoy the lovely blooms from spring through the first frost. A thick base of thin, sword-shaped foliage anchors the plant.
The Armeria Dreameria® Vivid Dreams is an excellent filler in a container or looks charming lining the front of a mixed bed. The mounded, spreading growth habit makes this plant an unexpected but stunning ground cover. Armeria Dreameria® Vivid Dreams is heat tolerant, so that this plant will look beautiful even during peak summer weather. Grow this plant as a perennial in zones 5 through 9.
Armeria Dreameria® Vivid Dreams Care
Plant this Armeria in full sun in rich, moist, well-drained soil. New plants need consistent water. Established plants need water during a dry period. Feed landscape plants monthly using a balanced fertilizer. Container-grown plants benefit from being fed every two weeks.
Remove spent flowers to encourage more prolific blooms by directing energy into flower production. The Armeria Dreameria® Vivid Dreams is an herbaceous perennial that dies back in the fall, so trim all growth to ground level after the first frost.

The Armeria Dreameria® Vivid Dreams is a short perennial that reaches 10 to 12 inches tall and wide. Space plants 12 to 14 inches apart. Plant two of these mounded plants in a 12-inch container.
